Abstract

Household debt is skyrocketing worldwide. As basic needs become unaffordable, families turn to credit, often under abusive conditions. Poor women are the hardest hit, facing financial stress, exploitation and social stigmatization. This note calls for systemic reforms to break the poverty-debt cycle affecting millions of people.
